“Kayla K. Was absolutely amazing with our pets! We were nervous at first because our dog weighs 100+ pounds and is super hyper. Kayla handled our Dog perfectly and he absolutely loves her. Her communication is beyond impressive, she’s was very respectful of our home and the list of rules we left, just overall a fantastic experience and she really put our minds at ease about leaving our babies in her care. When we need to go out of town again we will be booking Kayla K.”

“Elena is a great sitter we would recommend to anyone. She came over before we left for us to show her how to care for our cat which was really helpful. She sent pictures and updates regularly and you can tell she really cares about your pet. We are so glad to have Elena nearby and will for sure use her services again!”
